Reliv International, Inc. 401(k) Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements
of net assets available for benefits of Reliv International, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and
the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Reliv International, Inc.
401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose
of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year)
as of December 31, 2016 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements,
but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s
management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

Reliv International, Inc. 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2016
1. Description of the Plan
The following description of Reliv International,
Inc. 401(k) Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete
description of the Plan’s provisions. The Plan was amended and restated on January 1, 2016.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan
covering all eligible employees of Reliv International, Inc. (the Company) who have completed one year of service and have attained
the age of 21. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended. The
Plan’s asset custodian is Charles Schwab Bank.
Contributions
Each year participants may contribute from
1% to 50% of eligible compensation, as defined in the Plan agreement. The Plan provides for discretionary matching contributions.
For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company contributed 10% of the first 15% of the participant’s eligible
compensation contributed. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit
or defined contribution plans. All contributions are subject to applicable Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limitations.
Upon enrollment, a participant may direct
their contributions and any allocated Company contributions to any of the Plan’s investment options, which include Company
common stock, various mutual funds, and various collective investment trusts. All investments are participant directed.
Vesting and Forfeitures
Participants are immediately vested in
their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company’s matching contributions plus actual earnings thereon
is based on years of continuous service, as defined in the Plan agreement. A participant vests 20% per year starting with his or
her second year of service and is fully vested after six years of continuous service.
Forfeitures arising from non-vested accounts
at the time of termination are used to reduce future Company contributions to the Plan. Forfeited amounts available for future
use were $3,975 and $3,347 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Forfeitures were not used to offset Company contributions
during the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited
with the participant’s contributions, the Company’s matching contribution and allocations of Plan earnings and administrative
expenses, if applicable. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined in the Plan agreement. The
benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the vested portion of the participant’s
account.
Participant Notes Receivables
Participants may borrow from their accounts
a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from
1 year to 5 years or up to 30 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans outstanding at December 31, 2016 mature
between 2017 and 2036. The loans are secured by the balance in the participants’ accounts and bear interest at rates ranging
from 4.25% to 8.25%, commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined by the Plan administrator. Principal and interest are
paid ratably through payroll deductions. Terminated employees may pay off the loan in full at time of separation or they may receive
a deemed distribution.
Payment of Benefits
Upon termination of service or attainment
of Normal Retirement Age, as defined in the Plan agreement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to
the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account, annual installments, or if applicable to the participant’s
account balance, a distribution of Company common stock.
Participants may also take in-service distributions
upon reaching Normal Retirement Age or experiencing a qualifying financial hardship, as defined in the Plan agreement.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared
on the accrual basis of accounting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reliv International, Inc. 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)
Administrative Expenses
Expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company,
except for financial advisory fees and participant loan initiation and record-keeping fees, which are charged to the applicable
participants.
Participant Notes Receivable
Participant notes receivable are measured
at the unpaid principal balance plus accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent participant loans are reclassified as distributions
based upon the terms of the Plan agreement.
Fair Value
The Plan’s investments are stated
at fair value under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 820,
Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures
, as amended. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to
maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. An asset’s or
liability’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation.
The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
|
Level 1:
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities.
|
|
Level 2:
|
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets,
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or inputs that are observable or corroborated
by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
|
|
Level 3:
|
Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity
and that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the exit price, including assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability.
|
Fair value estimates are made at a specific
point in time, based on available market information and other observable inputs. In some cases, the fair value estimates cannot
be substantiated by comparison to independent markets. In addition, the disclosed fair value may not be realized in the immediate
settlement of the financial asset and these values do not represent any premium or discount that could result from offering for
sale at one time an entire holding of a particular financial asset. Potential taxes and other expenses that would be incurred in
an actual sale or settlement are not reflected in the amounts disclosed.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)
Valuation of Investments and Income
Recognition
The Plan’s investments are stated
at fair value as determined by Charles Schwab Bank, the Custodian. The shares of the Company’s common stock are valued at
the closing price as quoted on the NASDAQ Global Select Market for the last business day of the year. Shares in mutual funds are
valued at net asset value (NAV) based on the closing price for the last business day of the year.
Target Date Funds: The Plan invests in
collective investment trust funds in which the primary objective is to approximate the risk and return of a custom benchmark comprised
of various industry published equity, fixed income, commodity, and inflation investment return indexes, as adjusted for target
retirement dates associated with each particular fund. Accordingly, the funds may invest in a variety of asset classes, including,
but not limited to, domestic and international equity, global real estate, commodities, intermediate-term bond, inflation-protected
bond (U.S. TIPS) and cash equivalents.
Stable Value Fund: The Plan invests in
the Federated Capital Preservation Fund (FCPF); a collective investment trust. The investment objective of FCPF is stability of
principal and high current income.
Diversified Allocation Funds: The Plan
invested in collective investment trust funds (the Inceptus funds) in which the primary objective of the various funds was to offer
an investor investment “risk” ranging from conservative to aggressive. The Inceptus funds, as a group, sought to offer
a varying degree of principal preservation, reduced volatility, and opportunity for growth. Each fund focused on asset allocation
as the driver of its long-term performance and utilized a combination of mutual funds, exchange traded funds, and other pooled
funds as the underlying investments. The Plan discontinued investing in the Inceptus funds during 2016.
The fair value of the Plan’s interest
in the each of the Stable Value, Target Date, and Diversified Allocation funds is valued at NAV based on information reported by
the issuer of the fund at year end. The NAV is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. This practical expedient is
not used when it is determined to be probable that the fund will sell the investment for an amount different than the reported
NAV. Participant transactions (purchases and sales) may occur daily.
Interest income is recognized on the accrual
basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Net
appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold
as well as held during the year.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.

Reliv International, Inc. 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
5. Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent
to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject
to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.
6. Income Tax Status
The underlying nonstandardized prototype
plan has received an opinion letter from the IRS dated March 31, 2014, stating that the form of the prototype plan is qualified
under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), and therefore, the related trust is tax-exempt. In accordance with
Revenue Procedures 2008-6 and 2005-16, the Plan sponsor has determined that it is eligible to and has chosen to rely on the current
IRS prototype plan opinion letter. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its
qualification. The Plan has been amended since the date of the opinion letter; however, the Plan Administrator believes the Plan
is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified
and the related trust is tax-exempt.
Accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability
(or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the
IRS. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2016, there
are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure
in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits
for any tax periods in progress. The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior
to 2013.
7. Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment
securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level
of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment
securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the
amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
